Georgia College Athletics Hall of Fame to Add Four Saturday

Feb 20, 2009

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - In its third year of
honoring former student-athlete and administrative success, the
Georgia College Athletics Hall of Fame will add four new members
Homecoming Weekend, Saturday, Feb. 21. Baseball's Greg
Winters, tennis's Jay Torrence and
Anna (Haggkvist) Sundstrom and basketball's
Leonard Scott will return to Milledgeville and
receive the honor.

Winters hit for a .396 clip during his career, ranking second
all-time at Georgia College. A four-year member of the Colonials
from 1993-1996, his 290 hits ranks fourth all-time and is the
highest total since the school joined the NCAA Division II in 1992.

Winters was named All-American in 1996, adding three All-Region
honors from 1994-96. The last two seasons of his career brought
All-Peach Belt Conference (PBC) honors, and he was also selected to
the 1995 World Series All-Tournament Team. Always patient at the
plate, Winters hit over .400 in three of his seasons, also drawing
a school-best 199 career walks.

Torrence is the first men's tennis player to earn a spot in the
Georgia College Athletics Hall of Fame, thanks to two stellar
seasons for the Bobcats from 1993 to 1994. He was an NCAA
All-American in 1994, adding Georgia Tennis Association Player of
the Year honors during that season.

He was also a 1994 All-PBC selection and the Rolex Division II
Southern Singles Champion. Torrence was named the 1994 GCSU Male
Senior Athlete of the Year.

Sundstrom was a two-time All-American for Georgia College,
pulling down honors in 1997 and 1998. She played under GCSU Hall of
Famer Duward Whelchel from 1996-1999, earning four
All-Peach Belt Conference (PBC) trophies.

She was named the NCAA Region Senior Player of the Year in 1999,
earning the ITA Rolex Regional Singles title in 1995 and regional
doubles champ in 1997. She was also named the 1999 GCSU Female
Senior Athlete of the Year.

Scott was a four-year member of the then-Colonial basketball
team, competing from 1975-79. The second-leading scorer in Georgia
College history at 1,908 points, Scott owns the school mark for
rebounds in a career at 868.

Scott averaged 18.0 points per game in his four seasons,
tallying 93 double-digit scoring contests, including eight 30-point
games. His 43 points against Piedmont in the 1977-78 season ranks
first in school history.
